We know Obugger is very much not happy with Israel and I wonder how much was brought to bear on Bebe in order for him to agree with a cease fire. Perhaps a promise to help him rearm?sig94https://www.blogger.com/profile/11460563552989533923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-90946306509291263192014-08-28T01:21:49.572-04:002014-08-28T01:21:49.572-04:00I was a little torn on this.

He did send them in to tear it up, and they did. But for foreign, even domestic, economic, political, military, and cultural reasons... perhaps they really couldn't stay and finish the job. I still think that was a mistake. But, much like a surgeon, who has time limits when working on a patient, and a number of peculiar to the patient risks... I'm still a little torn. <br /><br />I guess we will find out if a microsurgery was a better call than a major one, at least in part. We can never go back and find out some things that might have happened otherwise, but we can easily check the level of success for the way it did go, in the near future. I wouldn't want to be in his shoes. He bet big then left the table with very meager earnings, and those are more like ioy's. It is Netanyahu... he has a little room for risk, even mistakes, up to a point.<br /><br />Gotta love as much mind over matter, and fewer lost coin and lives, as possible. But only if it pans out. David and Goliath when possible, the flood, and having to face Goliath in the first place, because the Jews did not abide God's will in the first place, though, too.Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392444624210801173noreply@blogger.com
